Abstract

The effect of ice structuring protein (ISP) on the gelling properties of myofibrillar protein from quick-frozen pork patty during frozen storage was investigated by determining and comparing protein solubility, turbidity and gel properties. Protein solubility was increased by 10.23% and turbidity was decreased after ISP treated. The gel whiteness and strength of myofibrillar protein from patty with ISP were 8.38% and 13.70% higher than that of the control after frozen for 180 days. And the addition of ISP could weaken the influence of frozen storage on water mobility and reduce the water loss. Furthermore, ISP retrained the decrease in the maximum elastic (G′) value and loss factor (tan δ) value of samples. Through observing by scanning electron microscope (SEM), ISP retarded the destruction of gel microstructure and maintained the relatively complete tissue of gel. These findings confirmed the importance of ISP in myofibrillar protein gel quality assurance of pork patty during frozen storage.
